The 5-year grant option comes with additional tenant choice requirements to rent to a home leaving homelessness<br>
<br>For more information specifics about these two options, examine the sections listed below.<br>
<br>5-Year Grants<br>
<br>Any residential or commercial property, with the exception of renter inhabited systems addressing code non-compliance concerns, obtaining VHIP 2.0 can opt to get a 5-year grant. This [compliance duration](https://www.vibhaconsultancy.com) will start as soon as the VHIP 2.0 system is positioned in service. This grant needs that:<br>
<br>The system is rented at or below HUD Fair Market Rent for the area for a minimum of 5 years.
That the residential or commercial property supervisor deal with Coordinated Entry Lead Organizations to discover ideal occupants leaving homelessness for a minimum of 5 years or with USCRI to discover refugee households to rent the system to<br>
<br>[Participants](http://stayandhomely.com) must sign a rental covenant to this result. This covenant will be efficient for 5 years and states that for this period, the unit needs to stay a long-term rental with a month-to-month rental rate at or listed below HUD Fair Market Rent which the Department of Housing and Community Development must approve the sale of the residential or commercial property.<br>
<br>Tenant Selection: If the Department of Housing and Community Development (DHCD) or the Homeownership Center (HOC) that issued the grant figures out that a home exiting homelessness is not offered to lease the system, the proprietor will lease the unit to a home with an income equivalent to or less than 80 percent of area typical income. If such a household is not available, the residential or commercial property owner may lease the unit to another family with the approval of the DHCD or HOC.<br>
<br>Grant to Loan Conversion: A landlord may transform a grant to a forgivable loan upon approval by DHCD and the HOC that authorized the grant. When the grant is converted to a forgivable loan, the residential or commercial property owner shall receive a 10% credit for loan forgiveness for each year in which the property manager takes part in the grant program.

<br>Note. This only uses to tasks that got [funding](https://www.stayinggreenrealty.com) through VHIP 2.0. The preliminary VHIP financing was sourced from State Fiscal Recovery Funds, which had various policies. The requirements and options described here do NOT use to jobs approved before March 25, 2024, and those grants can NOT be transformed to forgivable loans.<br>
<br>10-Year Forgivable Loans<br>
<br>Any residential or commercial property getting VHIP 2.0 can opt to receive a 10-year forgivable loan. This compliance duration will begin once the VHIP 2.0 system is placed in service. This grant requires that the system is rented at or below HUD Fair Market Rent for the location for at least ten years. The owner must lease the system for 10 years at or below FMR to be forgiven in its totality. Funds will need to be paid back to the State of Vermont for each year this requirement is not fulfilled i.e. if an owner only leases the system for 7 years at or listed below FMR, 3 years (30%) of funding will not be forgiven.<br>
